Greenwood, SC – In the rapidly evolving world of healthcare, few stories are as inspiring as that of Chrystal Smith, the owner of Carolina Sunrise Home Health Care, LLC.
Comprehensive Services for Diverse Needs
Carolina Sunrise offers a range of services, including transportation assistance, medication reminders, and help with activities of daily living such as toileting and feeding. The company also provides respite care, allowing family caregivers to take a much-needed break. “We meet our clients where they are, whether in their personal residence, a nursing home, or an assisted living facility,” Chrystal said.
One of the unique aspects of Carolina Sunrise is its plan to implement meal prep and delivery services, ensuring clients have access to nutritious meals, which is a crucial part of the healing process. This initiative sets them apart from other healthcare agencies.
Caring for All Ages
While Carolina Sunrise primarily cares for the elderly, it also serves special needs and disabled clients, as well as those requiring post-surgical care. The goal is to help clients regain their independence and return to their normal routines as quickly as possible.
A Mission Rooted in Accessibility and Quality Care
Chrystal’s main goal in starting Carolina Sunrise was to ensure that everyone, regardless of financial constraints, has access to quality home care. Currently, the company operates on a private pay model but aims to receive Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement in the future.
Expanding Reach Across the Carolinas
The company serves patients in both North and South Carolina. Areas covered by the company are as follows: the Upstate of South Carolina, the Midlands of South Carolina, the Southern Piedmont of North Carolina, the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina, and the Triangle area of North Carolina. Chrystal’s commitment to traveling across these regions ensures that a wide range of clients can benefit from her services.
A New Beginning Every Day
Chrystal chose the name “Carolina Sunrise” to symbolize new beginnings and the endless opportunities for improvement and healing that each new day brings. “The motto of the business is ‘where every day is a new beginning.’ We want our clients to feel that they have a fresh start every day, despite their challenges,” she explained.
A Personal Touch in Professional Care
Chrystal’s journey into healthcare began after she struggled to find a job in IT. Encouraged by her mother to pursue nursing, she overcame her initial hesitations and discovered a passion for caregiving. This personal touch is evident in her approach to client care. “I take pride in treating my clients like family. It’s not just about making money; it’s about making a difference,” she emphasized.
Growing the Team and Fostering Talent
Currently running the business solo, Chrystal plans to expand her team by bringing on new talent, particularly young CNAs and other healthcare professionals. She is passionate about helping them grow in their careers, whether in nursing, radiology, or any other healthcare-related field.
Community Involvement and Future Goals
Chrystal hopes to get involved with the Alzheimer’s Association, drawing from her experience with clients who have dementia. Additionally, she aims to expand Carolina Sunrise’s services to include laboratory services, physical therapy, and speech therapy, creating a comprehensive one-stop shop for her clients’ healthcare needs.
Personal Life and Hobbies
When she’s not running her business, Chrystal enjoys reading, strength training, and attending jazz concerts. Despite her busy schedule, she makes time for her two beloved nephews and dreams of expanding her services to include care for disabled and special needs children.
Looking Ahead
Chrystal is optimistic about the future of Carolina Sunrise. She offers potential clients a one-hour free consultation to assess their needs and ensure a safe environment for their healing process. With plans to grow the business and expand its reach, Chrystal is dedicated to making Carolina Sunrise a trusted name in home healthcare.
